If no folder is selected, the LMB creates a new folder in the folder display with the user entering the name. If a folder is selected, a new folder is created under the selected folder with the user entering the name.

The RMB creates a new folder from text in the clipboard.

Under the MMB for Options you can create a new folder and immediately edit the name, create a new folder that is the current date, or create a new folder for each selected file
